If a match is found, the +# makefile variable `ifGNUmake' is set to the empty string, otherwise it +# is set to "#". This is useful for including a special features in a +# Makefile, which cannot be handled by other versions of make. The +# variable _cv_gnu_make_command is set to the command to invoke GNU make +# if it exists, the empty string otherwise. +# +# Here is an example of its use: +# +# Makefile.in might contain: +# +# # A failsafe way of putting a dependency rule into a makefile +# $(DEPEND): +# $(CC) -MM $(srcdir)/*.c > $(DEPEND) +# +# @ifGNUmake@ ifeq ($(DEPEND),$(wildcard $(DEPEND))) +# @ifGNUmake@ include $(DEPEND) +# @ifGNUmake@ endif +# +# Then configure.in would normally contain: +# +# AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE() +# AC_OUTPUT(Makefile) +# +# Then perhaps to cause gnu make to override any other make, we could do +# something like this (note that GNU make always looks for GNUmakefile +# first): +# +# if ! test x$_cv_gnu_make_command = x ; then +# mv Makefile GNUmakefile +# echo .DEFAULT: > Makefile ; +# echo \ $_cv_gnu_make_command \$@ >> Makefile; +# fi +# +# Then, if any (well almost any) other make is called, and GNU make also +# exists, then the other make wraps the GNU make. +# +# LICENSE +# +# Copyright (c) 2008 John Darrington <j.darrington@elvis.murdoch.edu.au> +# +# Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are +# permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice +# and this notice are preserved.
